A Proposal to overcome and replace the dated US Presidential Election System

It's a nasty, not only widespread, but even common human behaviour, to react
often only, when a disaster has revealed weaknesses in a technical, organisational
or any other system. And the mentioned election was no exception to this rule.
By the way, in my view the supreme court decided primarily for national interest
reasons, means for higher ones than claimed, to terminate the endless seeming poll counts... (in their position, I would have decided probably equally and
for the same reason) It should not be overestimated regarding the official statement.

A short Historical Flashback

Because of the evolution of the United States as federation of single, vastly
autonomic states all election systems are strictly state related at now. This
was the last time unavoidable during the civil war, when only certain states
were allowed to vote for the US president. As a consequence, the parliament and
the president are still elected on a state for state base, with the majority
counted always on this level. Now I will consider, if this system is still
adequate?

About the many possible Systems of Elections

It's superfluous to discuss here, if a proportional system would be better than
the nowadays solely used majority decision in the USA. The consideration starts
with the statement, that there are different keys of vote distribution to
elected people practised in the USA nevertheless: while the senate is
represented with two senators for each state, regardless how many inhabitants
it has, the house of representatives on the other hand gets roughly as many
people from the winning party for the state, as its corresponds to the population
size of the state. Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages anyway,
and it's okay, to do this differently for the two for getting a balanced
solution. I'm not interested in a discussion, if the more important part of
parliament (the senate) should swap the system with the house of representatives
or any other parliament related change. For a federal system this is clearly
a feasible and justifiable solution.

What about the Presidential Election?

But the decision about the one man (or some day even a woman?), which
is by far the highest and most important politician of the USA, is different
from a parliament election. In this case no longer a state related count makes
any sense, because there is only this one person to elect by all US citizens,
and not a number of people, which can be decided per state. And in this regard
it's also totally inacceptable, that an arbitrary element of instability is
introduced too by the today used way: instead of country wide counting,
the votes are still taken on the state by state base, and so instead of one
majority decision there are (currently) 50 minor decisions, each with the danger,
that it can become a "dead race", means a virtually non existant
difference between the candidates. As seen in this case, the entire decision
can be threatened under certain circumstances!

Why that dated System probably will not be replaced

The events after closing the orginial count revealed once again, that both
candidates respective parties fighted with all means for their victory in that
unusual situation, disregarding all rules of fairness and correct political
behaviour. And equally the political class is not interested to change
that system, primarily because a number of carriers of a then superfluous
political function would also be deleted. It's wrong, to stick to any
illusions about the true motivations of politicians, I regret to have to state this ugly truth!
(I'm doubting heavily, that enough public pressure can be created, to force this change anyway despite that fact)

A Final, Serious Remark and Invitation to all US Citizens

In my view --- and I'm positive, that most Europeans and also many others share
this opinion --- the USA have no right, to threaten the position of the US
president, which is by far the most important political position on Earth nowadays,
by using an unsuitable election system. This is a serious invitation,
to change it to a more adequate system, despite the above pessimistic view!
